A lot can be said through our hands — a welcome, a goodbye, a friendly embrace, a playful gesture, a sign of affection, or just the delivery of a cup of tea. At Radius Thorneligh Park, we offer more than just an extra set of hands; we strive to improve your life at the stage you're at.

Just 4 km from the CBD, the care home has a brand new wing and is a single-level care home set in picturesque grounds with stunning landscaped gardens. We foster a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, making it feel like a second family.

Thornleigh Park offers rest home, private hospital with palliative and respite care in a modern environment.

OUR FOOD
Our kitchen prepares fresh, nutritious meals that are tasty and inviting.
There are three main meals and snacks throughout the day. The menu is on a four-week cycle and is designed with residents in mind and approved by a dietician.
Fish and chips on Fridays and roast lamb, pork, and beef are the most popular dishes. Special dietary requirements can be accommodated.


ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS
We offer an extensive activity programme that promotes self-esteem and personal fulfilment.
They aim to stimulate cognitive functioning, nurture their residents, and provide purposeful activities that result in full and enriched lives full of fun, laughter, and smiles. A focus is on being a part of our local community... which also includes our own Random Acts of Kindness club, which sees us delivering knitting, baked goodies and vouchers. This is a rewarding experience for everyone involved.


STAYING CONNECTED
We have a bi-monthly newsletter from us to the families with updates, upcoming events and any news.
Also offer free Wi-Fi connection for residents to stay connected with loved ones, access news, shop online, and stream movies or TV shows.
A phone package that includes a rented phone with oversized buttons and covers all mobile and toll calls, is also on offer for $35 a month. Residents can bring their existing phone numbers with them when they move in.

Compliment 1:
My mum, has just spent two weeks with you in respite care. I just had to contact you to say that she couldn't praise you enough.
She wasn't very keen to go into respite but she hasn't stopped talking about the care and awesome people who work there, especially when she was suffering from severe pain. She told me they couldn't do enough for her.
It was topped off by the kisses and cuddles she received when she was leaving.
We couldn't have hoped for a better outcome and I don't think she will hesitate to go in again when the need be.
I just couldn't let this go without passing this on to you and we will certainly recommend Thornleigh to anyone who is looking for great care.
Thanks again for the great and thoughtful care she received.
Kind regards
Janette G


Compliment 2:
My Husband has been a resident in your Thornleigh home for almost three years. I feel Thornleigh was part of his extended family. The staff and residents have been very kind in supporting myself and family.
